Brief Description:
The X-Men return to the mansion with the body of Jean Grey, who was killed by the Sentinels while the X-Men attended a party at the Hellfire Club. Xavier scans Jean and discovers that the woman is not dead, but has somehow transferred her psyche into the body of Emma Frost, who supposedly died, though Xavier does not believe so. Jean wakes up inside Emma’s body and witnesses Fitzroy forcibly take control of the Upstarts from Shinobi Shaw. Later on, Fitzroy displays his powers and opens a portal to the future to bring some of his allies. When he tries to absorb Emma, Jean retaliates and surprises everyone with her telekinesis. The X-Men find Jean, thanks to data from a Sentinel, and they bring her back to the Blackbird to return her back to her body. The other X-Men stay behind to battle Fitzroy, who kills all the Hellions in his possession and opens a giant portal, which unleashes an army of denizens from the future. The X-Men defeat the army and turn their attention to Fitzroy, who is attacked by new arrivals from the portal, including a man named Bishop, who wears a uniform similar to those of the X-Men!

Story Notes:
In Uncanny X-Men #281, the mysterious Fitzroy killed Donald Pierce and many Hellions, as well as seemingly killed Jean Grey. Off panel, he kidnapped the unconscious Frost, believed dead by her students, and a large group of previously unknown Hellions, who all made their first and last appearance this issue. Tarot, who died last issue and again this issue, will later return in the pages of X-Force (1st Series) #87, though her resurrection would be left unresolved.
This is the first appearance of Bishop, Malcolm and Randall. The latter two won’t be properly named until next issue.
